I saw that Bonnie Hunter announced her Leader and Ender project of the year today. No surprise.....she gave huge hints on the last quiltcam that I caught. She offered up tips, hints, and suggestions for sizes. Guess I was way ahead of her as my floral rail fence is on a hanger waiting for a border and or quilting :)
Anyway, I may have to hunt up another variation......I do love Rail Fence quilts. They are easy stitching, use scraps, and no sashing needed.
This one used a block variation....I called it a 2+4 patch rail fence. I worked out the block for it using 2" squares and strips for a 6 1/2'' block.
Today is get B-12 shot day and I need to get the table topper pinned. And there is a donation quilt for guild that needs to be quilted. Well, at least make a start on it.
Happy stitching.

Your rail fence is lovely. Good luck with the medical stuff today.
I hadn't seen Bonnie's announcement yet, but I don't do her leader/ender anyway. I have so many unfinished projects of my own, that they become my leader/enders. : )
I am sure you will come up with a lovely variation for your L/E project.
Hope the shots continue to help you!!
Oh, I love the 2 x 4 rail fence. I would love to make one. It is enough to push me off the fence and buy that 2" die that is on sale. Hope the B-12 shot works quick. When you mention the B-12, it always reminds me of the tag line in the V-8 juice commercial- I could have had a V-8!
I like your rail fence quilt. Early on when I was quilting I thought that I "invented" the rail fence block. Ha ha. A friend saw it and told me that she had made one years ago. (I laugh about it now.)
Because of the way I like to quilt pieces and then join them to make a larger quilt, I prefer patterns with sashing - or that I can add at least some sashing - otherwise the design is altered by the joining strips.
Hope all went well with your B12 shot! I love your floral Rail Fence, haven't yet seen the blog from Bonnie I'm a bit behind in my reading posts, this leader/ender sounds pretty good.
Beautiful! I saw Bonnie's pictures of the rail fence and how she used patches in one of them, you really were way ahead, LOL.
I like your 2+4 design. My first quilt was a nine-patch and rail fence.
I like it too. Hope you are feeling better. :)
